About Fire Ants

Fire ants can form their mounds anywhere, and their mounds are hard to identify because their entrance and exits are not visible. They can quickly multiply and are very territorial.

Fire ants can pose a lot of danger especially to children and individuals who have allergies to the toxins they emit. These insects, when provoked, may swarm and bite all at once causing swelling and large pustules to the victim.

Their bites leave a burning sensation on the bite site and may even cause anaphylaxis which can be lethal and needs immediate medical attention. Aside from building mounds, fire ants may also be found living on soils or under pots, that’s why you have to be careful especially if you have a garden in your backyard.

Getting Rid of Fire Ants

Getting rid of fire ants on your own is not impossible, but it is risky. It is important that you identify first where their nest is and make sure that you don’t disturb it at all, or these ants might attack you making it harder for you to eradicate them.

Pouring boiling water or kerosene is one of the oldest methods known in getting rid of ants, but these methods are highly discouraged because aside from the fact that there is a health risk factor involved, the success rate is only 60%. Aside from these, you are also unconsciously pouring toxic substances to other nearby plants and soil.

The safest method used in Australia is by using low-toxicity chemicals, but the problem with this approach is that it only prevents the queen from laying her eggs, it does not get rid of the whole colony. So after a few weeks of waiting, voila! They’re back!

Ant Damage

Aside from their bites, ants can also destroy your buildings, pathways and even your electronics at home which may cause short circuits. They can also serve as vectors in the transmission of viral and fungal diseases.

Over-the-counter pesticides may get rid of some ants, but those are the only ants that you can see and not the ants that are hiding somewhere else. Aside from their colonies, ants are also capable of hiding in cabinets, cracks on your walls and ceilings. This is now our job, a job for the experts.
